If that turns out to be a "fact", then there is nothing any of us can do about it anyway. You are entitled to believe in that if you want. I'm going to take their idea of a "rebuild" at face value until I see actual proof of your "fact" in 3 or 4 years.Hoosier59 wrote: ↑19 Nov 2025 19:57 pm You guys are wasting your time arguing with Matt on this. He thoroughly believes the Cardinals are simply trying to regroup for the next few years and then everything will just be hunky dory again. He won’t accept the “ fact “ that the DeWitts are cutting as much payroll as they can until after the lockout is over. Then, depending on the outcome of that, they’ll either start trying again when it’s cheaper to do so, or sell the team to someone who will. This rebuild stuff and accumulating prospects is all just a smokescreen to hide this! This is of course just my opinion!
And, depending on how a new CBA works out, maybe their current approach will turn out to be optimal on both front - both because they focused now on prospect accumulation and player development AND because they cleared the books of long term contract commitments before the lockout and are positioned to take advantage of whatever the new rules turn out to be.
